HOLLA BOMBAY!
So lots of exciting news; first and foremost, some of you have probably heard that there’s going to be a Besharmi Morcha/Slutwalk Mumbai! So, so exciting. We were just thinking the other day about how much this city needs one. We can’t speak for other Indian cities, but in Bombay, it’s common to see men walking around holding hands and generally being physically affectionate with each other, while it’s rare to see women doing the same. I think Besharmi Morcha/Slutwalk Mumbai will be incredible in that thousands of women will come together to march in solidarity, publicly expressing a desire for safe streets on which we all feel comfortable at any time of the day, wearing whatever we want. We will be posting news and updates on Besharmi Morcha/Slutwalk Mumbai, and are looking forward to it happening! Also, check out this YouTube video made by Besharmi Morcha/Slutwalk Delhi:

Hollaback!MUMBAI has received some pretty awesome press recently; we were on the front-page of Sunday’s Mid-Day (Undercover Morcha Maker) and as part of this incredible feature article called Manufacturing Dissent. The Times of India Crest also did a piece last week on Slutwalk Delhi and we were quoted in their piece Chalo Dilli.

And just for kicks, here’s a photo from HollabackMUMBAI’s lovely ally. So good to see women on the street having a good time. Check out Kunal’s website here.
